Answer: No, the normal curve cannot be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theorem of the Normal approximation states that if X is B(n,p) then for large n X is N(np, np(1-p)).

The accuracy of this approximation is good

i. for n > [10/p(1-p)]

ii. p is close to 1/2

Hence given p= 4% = 0.04,

q = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

Let N = [10/p(1-p)]

We find N = 10/p(1-p) = 10/(0.04× 0.96)

N ~= 260

Since n < 260 and p < 0.5

The approximation is not a good one

Suppose that a large number of samples are taken from a population. Which of the following sample sizes will be most likely to r
Montano1993 [528]

If you use a large enough statistical sample size, you can apply the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) to a sample proportion for categorical data to find its sampling distribution. The population proportion, p, is the proportion of individuals in the population who have a certain characteristic of interest (for example, the proportion of all Americans who are registered voters, or the proportion of all teenagers who own cellphones). The sample proportion, denoted

A circular garden has a circumference of
omeli [17]

This solution to this problem is predicated on the fact that the circumference is just: 2\pir. A straight line going through the center of the garden would actually be the diameter, which is well known to be two times the radius of the circle, so we can say that the circumference is just:

d\pi

So, solving for both the radius and the diameter gives us:

d\pi=8xy^2\pi\\ d=8xy^2\\ \\ 2\pi r=8xy^2\pi\\ r=4xy^2

So, the length of thes traight path that goes through the center of the guardain is just 8xy^2, and we can use the radius for the next part of the problem.

The area of a circle is \pi r^2, which means we can just plug in the radius and find our area:

A=\pi r^2 \implies \\ A=\pi (4xy^2)^2\implies \\ A= 16\pi x^2y^4

So, we have found our area(16 \pi x^2 y^4) and the problem is done.

You roll a fair 6-sided die what is p (not 3)
Ulleksa [173]
As a fraction, the exact answer is 5/6
In decimal form, the approximate answer is 0.8333

To get this answer, note how there are 5 ways to roll something that isn't a three (1,2,4,5,6) out of 6 ways total (1,2,3,4,5,6)

So you simply divide the two values to get 5/6 = 0.8333
